In fall of 2011, Khenpo Kalsang Gyaltsen gave teachings on the Five Great Founders of the Sakya Tradition: Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, Loppon Sonam Tsemo, Jetsun Rinpoche Dragpa Gyaltsen, Choje Sakya Pandita, and Chogyal Phagpa. These teachings are based on special biographies that were composed by other members of the Five Founders or other great Sakyapa lamas. See the links below for Homage and recording of each week's sessions.
